Is American Vintage Rims still in operation? I tried calling the number and sent an email over a week ago. Does anyone know?

Dale,

Thanks Larry,
I’m just checking here I didn’t know if you got my emails or not, but I’m guessing you don’t have anything that’ll work for me?

Looking for a couple parts for my carbide generator. My tank is what is pictured below. It is all brass and from what it looks like is a Corcoran and similar to JNO Brown. 3.jpg I am missing the tank plate seal. This is the metal part that bolts to the top of the tank. This is what I have. 2.jpg Thi...

Tbird

Larry, 2” or3”? I thought The 777 was 3”

Tbird

Thanks for all the feedback guys...Got 1. Thanks Rich! Need 3 more. Anyone else?

Tbird

So does anyone have any?

Tbird

Larry,
If I’m not mistaken the length of the stem does matter and the longest size you can use is 3” and the shortest is 2 3/4”?

Looking for some valve stems for Model T. I have some original Schrader rim nuts and covers that I’m using. From what I have read on the forums there were other manufacturers other than Schrader that can be used in place of the 777. Anyone out there that has a set (4) that they would like to part wi...

Found a pair!
Thanks

Tbird

Ok I’ve been looking over pictures and have been able to put most of the parts together. Can anyone verify if there is a gasket between the top tank and bottom?
Thanks

Tbird

I did figure out what those three pieces of steel are with a slight bend. The attach on the inside of the bottom tank under a lip. I’m not sure what function they serve though. Perhaps to keep the basket from jumping around? I saw this picture that helped me figure it out. Perhaps someone else can c...

I just acquired this brass Carbide Generator. It looks as though someone took it all apart to do a restoration on it. All the brass is straight. I've never seen one of these apart before. It is missing the basket for the carbide, and I think some sort of rubber gasket to seal the top and the bottom ...

Just got mine in the mail today!

Thanks Darel

I'm only interested in the mounting bracket as I need one for my Phinney Walker angle mount clock. I'm interested to know how it fastens to the back of the clock case

Tbird

Larry here is the post that discusses the earlier bolts. Langs was carrying them in their 2019 catalog but no longer available. Item number 4806E. It was listed as bolt for 09-13 having a rounder style opening.

Anyone got some?

Tbird

Looking for the early style round fender eye bolts. I'm looking for the one that is on the right. Langs use to carry them but no longer do, I'm guessing that these were being reproduced at one time. Perhaps someone knows who was reproducing these or perhaps you have some. Give me a call or email me ...

The ones that I’m looking should be brass.

Here is a very decent brass Never Out Bracket. This is not an original but a later repop. I buffed it up a little bit and it looks like it will polish up very nicely. $85 plus shipping. Thanks Mike Bird mikebird@lifeattheridge.net or 574-584-6744 IMG_6808.JPG IMG_6807.JPG IMG_6806.JPG IMG_6805.JPG

My 7 rivet has the plates behind the ears and the casting that goes completely around the hole.

Tbird

Interesting pan and the transition details. The front casting looks like the later narrow nose pans without the front casting going completely around the hole. Might be a really late 12 early 13 and or last of the 7 rivet arms being used up. Interesting

Tbird

Tim,
Great thanks. I’d love to see a picture/Know how to make one. Thanks Mike

Here is a Phinney Walker rim wind with a angled case. How does something like this mount on the dash? It has a set screw on the bottom. I’m thinking that perhaps there was some sort of bracket that it mounted to in the firewall. Any help much appreciated Thanks Mike 3EC37EB4-9468-449D-93CD-431EACD77...

Larry,
Thanks a bunch for the info. The Rands windshield that I have does have the internal spring hinges and the smaller upper half. Looks like I'll clean them up and get them re-plated. It's great to know that these brackets are original to the windshield/era.
Mike

Tbird

Larry,
Interesting! Thanks for the picture. Now here's another mystery. The Rands windshield that came with these brackets is not your typical equal half windshield. It has a larger bottom half and smaller top half. So we're these brackets only unique to the 09-10 year?
Mike

Tbird

I'm just trying to sort out what is what. These brackets came with the Rands windshield which I was told was on a Model T. From what I've read so far is that Rands supplied the brackets with their windshield. The brackets that are repop are just one of many styles that we're available. These bracket...

Tbird

So I’m going through some parts and I have these brass dash to windshield brackets. I have two pair. They came with a Rands brass windshield. These brackets are for mounting the windshield sides to the side of the firewall. They look like they are for a Model T, but the length of them does not look ...

According to the Speedo book by Russ the only part numbers on these are 12 A and 12 B. The potmetal ones have the name Stewart on them as well as different 4 digit numbers to help identify the year. Russ's book does a great job helping identify the correct speedo equipment for the Model T. Definitel...

Tbird

I purchased an original Rands windshield a while back and with it came the windshield support rods. I’ve seen other support rods with a bend near the top. These are completely straight all the way down. Can someone who has a 12 verify? One of the rods is heavier gauge brass tube as you can see in th...

With the Holley carb it looks like it does have the fuel inlet pipe. It does look to be in very good shape, if it has/ hasn’t been rebuilt that would effect cost. Russ Potter is the expert on the carbs. You can contact him here

It appears that a few these items are also listed on EBay

Probably the best deal was the 1911 tourabout. It was all in pieces but had a original torpedo frame, Raywells body, windshield etc, etc. Also a torpedo steering bracket mold was sold, so I’d expect to see some repops here pretty soon. 42C53DFC-45BD-4DEE-BACA-50BF03AD8D47.jpeg 58526EAF-B61B-405C-97C...
